Clinical Engineering Handbook, 2nd Edition, is a reference handbook examining clinical engineering operations and the field's expanding presence in healthcare systems. It addresses core responsibilities, including healthcare technology management, medical device service, and technology application.

The volume explores how clinical engineers connect medicine, engineering, and business, while reviewing international practice through country-specific overviews across regions such as Canada, Italy, Japan, and Uganda. It also considers operational tools, including equipment control, asset management, and computerized maintenance management systems.

Written by international contributors associated with organizations such as IFMBE, IUPESM, IEEE, and ACCE, this volume supports researchers, practicing engineers, students, healthcare technology managers, and healthcare organizations.
